Geoff from geoffmobile.com shares a performance video of himself singing and playing piano in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Special thanks to my singing teacher spencerwelch.com/ for hosting such a fun Holiday Party!

The sound is captured in Ambisonic surround using Zoom H2n and Ambisonics is best experienced with headphones. When you rotate the video, the sound mix will change to your orientation.

Using a stabilizer and 360 camera, I walk around the Conference (C) Level of the historic Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, on West Georgia street in Vancouver, Canada and explore a fabulous corporate holiday party, complete with a buffet seafood and Turkey dinner, a live DJ, a dessert extravaganza room, and Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Shown in the video:
– Starts at the elevator lobby on the C level of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
– Walk to the closest ballroom (mostly empty at that time)
– Walk to see Santa and Mrs Claus
– Walk into the main ballroom past the tables and we peruse the buffet tables
– Walk into the dessert buffet extravaganza room
– Walk back into the main ballroom by my table

Geoff filmed this 360 video, a short video blog, in 360 degrees, using his YI 360 VR Camera in Vancouver, BC, Canada, using a Stayblcam stabilizer.

Filmed with YI 360 VR Camera in 4K resolution with in-camera stitching. I used the YI 360 camera handheld on the Stayblcam stabilizer and filmed the vlog.

Thanks for watching! Cheers, Geoff

In honor of our dog, and for pups and their masters everywhere, I have written the following song:

Lyrics:
Some people wait a lifetime
For a leash like this
Some people search forever
For that one cute leash
Ohh I can’t believe it’s happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a leash like this

Feel free to use or remix this music for your project (commercial or non commercial use OK), but please give credit to me, Geoff Peters, and link to the music’s page on Soundcloud:

Instruments used:
Roland Gaia SH-01 synth with a custom patch that I designed (sorry I don’t have the patch anymore).
Synth Drums from Cakewalk by Bandlab.
Vocals by myself, recorded using a Sony ECM-MS907 stereo condenser microphone and converted to mono using Audacity.
Mixed and recorded in Cakewalk by Bandlab.
Mastered in Audacity using SC4 compressor and W1 Limiter.

This speech was recorded at Best Run Toastmasters in Vancouver BC Canadatoastmasters.org

The hacks are:
– Turning off email buzzing on your cell phone to reduce cognitive load
– Using a gradual alarm to avoid disturbing your sleeping partner or your colleagues, and at the same time never miss a meeting again
– Using a USB adapter to connect a desktop keyboard to your Android cellphone in order to take notes during meetings – this reduces the need to use a laptop in your meeting which eliminates distractions and “laptop-itis” in meetings.

Here’s how you can stitch together / concatenate 360 videos from the YI 360 VR Camera and apply an audio limiter effect, all just using the free open source FFMPEG tool. No Adobe Premiere is required!

Geoff from geoffmobile.com shares a tutorial on how to process video and audio from the YI 360 VR Camera using only free software tools, and then how to add 360 Video Metadata injector and then upload the video to Youtube.

An audio limiter, such as the one shown in this video, is a great way to increase the volume of an audio track without diminishing the quality.

This video was recorded using a Samsung Galaxy S8 Smart Phone using the front-facing camera, and the screen capture was done using Snagit. My voice was recorded using a Zoom H1. Audio was synced using Pluraleyes. Edited using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5. Audio processed using W1 Limiter.

The background music in this video was an improvised synthesizer jam that I did on my Roland Gaia SH-01 synthesizer.

Shown in the video:
– Starts at Pallet Coffee at West 22nd and King Edward
– We walk across the street to the west side of Oak Street and walk past the under construction Chateau Laurier
– We walk past the Royal Bank and Easter Seals house, and cross the street over to the Safeway at the King Edward Mall
– We have a look at the Orange Halloween Pumpkins outside the Safeway.
– We pause outside the Dollar Store which has signs about shoplifting
– I continue on and walk to the end of the mall, past the sushi restaurant, hair salon, all the way to the insurance agency at the end.

In this video I share some thoughts and ideas about how to prevent the rice from burning or scorching on the bottom of the instant pot.

Also known as the Instant Pot Burn message or Overheat message.

My theory is that the instant pot needs to heat up all the ingredients in the pot to a high temperature before it can pressurize. If there are too many colder ingredients in the pot, it needs to get very hot on the bottom of the pot to transfer the heat into the rest of the pot. But if it takes too long to heat the pot through, the rice starts to absorb all the liquid in the pot and dries out, and then starts burning at the bottom of the pot.

Some possible solutions:
– Add a layer of water or clear broth at the bottom of the pot, followed by something fairly liquid but a bit fibrous such as salsa at the bottom of the pot, and then add the rice mixture above.
The salsa and extra water at the bottom will hopefully prevent the rice at the bottom from drying out.

– Don’t overload the pot with too many other ingredients if you are cooking rice in the pot.
